What I mean is when I went to college, a close friend of mine smoked weed and so although I was apprehensive about doing it at first, because I grew up being taught it was bad, after seeing him do it a number of times, and walking away unscathed, I asked him if I could try doing the things he was doing myself.
However I haven’t touched marijuana personally since April this year, since my summer job requires I be “drug free” of certain substances and the tests are completely random.
Similarly this summer, I’m working with a bunch of guys that smoke cigarettes. However I also work with guys that vape as well. But the reason I haven’t started vaping is because I’d tried it before in the past and gotten really fcked up to the point where I went to the hospital after several hours of heart pain.
Its like unless I have a personally bad experience with something I don’t associate it as being “bad”, if its become socially normalized around me.
Like I can 100% guarantee that if I hung around guys that smoked cocaine, I’d definitely be afraid of it at first, but unless I saw them acting all crazy, and if they seemed perfectly fine, I’d definitely ask them if I could try doing the same thing myself.
Is this like really bad or something, or is this a totally normal social behavior?
Keep in mind I’ve never been peer-pressured into doing any of these things its just I naturally get curious about stuff whenever I see other people doing certain things, even if it goes against what I’ve been conventionally taught to believe.
I just really hope I’m not headed down a path toward drug addiction or anything like that.
What I’ve found to be true though is that after having done substances like caffeine, marijuana, tobacco, and alcohol I don’t tend to suffer withdrawals or anything crazy like that. I have no problems with moderating my usage and I don’t find stuff to be addictive.
They hang around people doing illicit stuff and then just start to get curious about it themselves?

Could it be that you are a follower and not a leader? That is something interpersonal that you need to work on. Allowing yourself to be influenced by people for bad reasons is not good and says a lot about your personality.
Nah its more just like if I’m already friends with people I tend to get curious about the things in which they do with their lives.
I’d say I’m kind of just like a wolf bonding with its pack
I've never smoked before, but, i have two girl "friends" one that likes me and i like her back, that smoke weed. I've heard some good things about it, and I've heard good things about CBD, so, while I likely wouldn't continue it, i figured i might give it a try. I used to be VERY against it
Well I guess we think the same way then
I hear you. When I dated a black man I did that
